Gives New Meaning to the Term Republican Whip

A Republican National Committee staffer was fired after The Daily Caller reported Monday that the committee paid a bar tab of nearly $2,000 for young GOP donors at the risqué, bondage-themed Voyeur West Hollywood nightclub.

An RNC statement released to the New York Times on Monday night suggests that Erik Brown — a California political operative who FEC filings show was reimbursed by the committee for the Voyeur outing and who several Republicans have told The Daily Caller feels like he’s been thrown under the bus by the RNC following the event — was asked by the terminated staff member to charge the bar tab on his credit card.

Apparently, not just any old bondage either. Lesbian bondage! Oh, if only our society was tolerant enough to allow staffers a little lesbian bondage club down (heh) time. Democrats, as expected, made a fuss about it . And, of course, brought race into it. Talk about your one-note narratives! Lesbian bondage and they have to resort to the old race-baiting? Sheesh.

But it would still present a bit of an image problem to fire the one prominent black Republican in America.

The real issue, I dare say, is that if you’re going to risk a media clusterfark and the antagonism of a huge chunk of your base by conducting official business in some sort of S&M theme restaurant, use. your own. money.

Lesson learned, I hope, young GOPers! All I really want to know is if the lesbian bondage club RNC staffer scandal dude, Erik Brown, is going to blame Bush?

Snark. And Boobs!

Exposing Asshattery in Washington, DC (and elsewhere if it makes me froth at the mouth), from a dame’s point of view. Hence, the snark and boobs. Probably should have said nag and boobs, but snark has a better ring to it. Contact info: Snarkandboobs@gmail.com

Stimulate Me!

Minds out of the gutter! Not THAT way. The Stimulus Package way. Oh .. that sounds just as bad. Oh, well.
